But Bundy and his crew appear to have their eye on elevating the situation to a full-on confrontation over property rights.
These squatters have some peculiar notions about the words “property” and “rights”.

They have illegal Mexicans to do it for them for sub-subsistence wages.

Ask Lavoy Finnicum how this went for him last time. Fuck these wanna-bes. The Bundy family and their gang are criminals. Oregon let them off last time. Hopefully we won’t this time.

The authorities should just pretend it’s a BLM group.

If you ever can’t sleep just watch some videos of those things abating nuisances in Afghanistan. A couple fighters have our guys pinned down, they make a call, the A-10 shows up high in the sky, there’s a bizarre buzzing noise and a couple of seconds later the whole area where the bad guys are just erupts. You don’t need nightmares when you can watch that. If we did that a couple times here I think there’d be a lot less talk about the Second Amendment, tyranny, the Wolverines and all that crap.

One sweep on either of the main sides of the Capitol and that crowd would never have made it in the building.

“Those are nice talking points,” Bundy said. “‘Oh, the tribes have rights, too. Oh, the endangered species, what about them? Oh, the drought and climate change.’ Those are liberal talking points that are there, designed to literally strip the people of their rights and to put the power in the government’s hands.”
So… what you’re really saying is you want those ‘rights’ in your hands controlled by you.

Climate change is human caused and isn’t a “liberal talking point” any more than what you call that “fake virus” is. We all added methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by our various activities and the planet responded accordingly. It’s science, not politics.

Wrap that up with Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas, then turn it into a territory and strip their representation.
Fix a bunch of issues.

His rights are real rights. Other people’s rights are liberal talking points.

This is their grift. I’ve attempted to make this point about several other persons and groups. This is a cottage industry. They make a decent living fleecing the rubes. It’s Trump on a smaller scale.

It seems like their group should be called “White Peoples Rights”, because they sure don’t give a shit about anyone else.
Th drought situation is bad, and balancing the water resources is difficult. But, that’s no excuse to bring in a bunch of long guns, that’s when you start figuring out what can be done logistically to get water where it needs to be. It may be this year just won’t work, so emergency aid to the famers and trucked water would be necessary, followed by some planning to figure out how to get water in there regularly. The locals calling for Bundy and his stormtroopers to stay out get this, and attacking the dam to release water isn’t the answer for the long term situation Bundy et al refuse to acknowledge.
This is just another escalation along the path before we get open rebellion, with Y’all Qaeda shooting shit up, anytime a government agency does something that doesn’t kowtow to the white supremacist desires. It’s idiots like Bundy that are going to light the match, but once it’s lit there won’t be any turning back. And, these assholes want their revolution, they are campaigning for it.
